By Arthur Medrano |Staff Writer| An entertaining alternative has arrived that no longer pits the social drinker to drink and drive, but rather to drink and paint. San Bernardino's Generation Now was tactical in its way of having the community break away from the typical hangout to enjoy festivities at the Garcia Center for the Arts in San Bernardino on May 26. The Spirit and Arts event occurs every fourth Friday of the month and relies on receiving donations from local city patrons to provide resources so individuals don't have to worry about purchasing their own art supplies. The Garcia Center, which is run by SB's Valley Concert Association, is also home to artwork and … [Read more...] about Wine and canvas paint

“Art” on the streets
By Jaynene Moreno |Staff Writer| Some people may say graffiti is actual art and some may argue that it is vandalism.

Flush out bathroom graffiti with Post-Its
By Angelina Garibay |Staff Writer| Graffiti on the walls of the CSUSB bathrooms. Are you kidding me? I was shocked when I saw that people, presumably women, had started a conversation of a philosophical nature on the walls of the bathroom stalls in the Lady’s room. Each day It mushroomed until the stall was almost covered, then the custodial staff came and repainted.
